Every year since 1973, the federal government has recognized August 26 as Women’s Equality Day. This year, it’s going to be a little different. That’s because the day — the anniversary of the signing into law of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote — comes a little over a week before confirmation hearings are due to start for Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court pick, who could cast the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.
